Build a Streak with your favorite players and compete to win $5.6 million

Beat the Streak Report: Thursday, May 19

Nobody likes rooting for a tie game in the late innings, but extra frames — and the extra at-bats that come with them — have saved many a Streaker over the last decade.

The Yankees and Orioles played 15 last night, and everyone who’s anyone* converted on at least one of their six-plus trips to the dish. Cano, Granderson, Adam Jones, Vlad … the list goes on. Of course, most of you were too intimidated by Bartolo Colon (partying like it’s 2005) and Zach Britton (partying like it’s 2015) to cash in on one of the 27 base knocks in this one.

It’s too bad, especially on a low-scoring night when only one your top-8 most trustworthy players —Joey Votto (partying in the USA) — actually delivered the Dominos. We really feel for you guys. And by “really feel for” we mean “are quietly snickering at.” Wait, who said that? Rude!

Buddycrise enjoyed a 1-for-4 day by Marty Prado, creeping to within one game of our season leader. Jngmz733‘s reign atop the standings has been long and memorable — especially the “0-for-0 No Selection” yesterday — but we could witness the passing of a very small torch this evening.

Anyone notice the new “Season Stats” sub-menu on your “Results” navigation button once logged in? I think they are still playing with it, but I can’t figure it out right now. For example, it says …
a. Under the summary, my streak rate is 63% for past 10 days. Should be 100% since I’m on a 10-game streak.
b. Under my Top Streaks section, it shows I had a 4-gamer ended May 13th; obviously wrong since that was 6 days ago & I’ve got a 10-gamer.
c. Under the top choices section I’ve no clue what that is. Maybe it shows my picks over the past 3 years? Otherwise, there are players in there I’ve never picked this year.

Another thing that irks me when during a reset when picking a home team player: due up in 9th, but 9th isn’t played. Guess I still have a slight chance at hoping WSH scores in top of their 9th, else onto interleague weekend with no pressure ;)

Well Ramon got that extra bat but unfortunately lined out to end the game.
Wash with runner on 3rd and 2outs. Only hood thing that would come from Reyes not getting another bat is the guy in 2nd place took him.
